In a late-night appearance in the East Room of the Imperial Palace, Lord Vader declared that “justice has been done” as he disclosed that agents of the Imperial Army and stormtroopers of the 501st Legion had finally cornered Kenobi, one of the leaders of the Jedi rebellion, who had eluded the Empire for nearly two decades. Imperial officials said Kenobi resisted and was cut down by Lord Vader's own lightsaber. He was later dumped out of an airlock.



....



“No Stormtroopers were seriously harmed,” Lord Vader said. “They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, I defeated my former master and took custody of his body.” Jedi tradition requires burial within 24 hours, but by doing it in deep space, Imperial authorities presumably were trying to avoid creating a shrine for his followers.



Lord Vader has denied requests to present photographs of the body, describing them as "too gruesome" for the general public.

This is stuff you can't make up!



This has Hollywood written all over it!



Think Michael Bay would direct something like this? :skeptic:

The comments are really a hoot. It reminds me of the Jimmer/Michelle article and how pithy the comments were.

The difference between Obi and OBL? Whereas we thught OBL lived in a cave in some out of the way place, as it turns out Obi actually lived in one....

alderaan was an inside job!

Show us Lord Vader's Birth Certificate!
